In the spirit of this year’s innovation month theme ‘working together’ — we want to work with our community to learn what you would like to see, hear and learn at this event.
Post your comments, suggestions and ideas on :

Speakers - We’ve put out a call for speakers, but you may know a certain someone and their project that’s perfect for this event. If you do, let us know. You can nominate using this online form or post your comments below.

Time slots - We’re aiming for 1 hour of presentations, with speakers having 5, 15 or 20 minute time slots to share their stories and ideas. We want to know if you think 1 hour is enough time to hear from your colleagues.

Networking - After presentations, we’d like to make space for attendees to chat, relax and network (and of course, have some snacks). Ideas and musings on making our network stronger are welcome.

How keen are you all about ‘ice breaker’ activities for our networking segment?
I’m a big fan of the lock and key (usually used at dating events but way more fun / less awkward at community gatherings). It might add a fun element to afternoon tea?

Hi Rooby, this event is definitely open to contractors currently working for government agencies. We’re pretty strict on personal emails so we don’t have anyone unexpected coming along who isn’t working for government. Usually we ask you to verify using your work email address, rather than simply cancelling your ticket. Can you send me your details using your work address to data@digital.gov.au? I’d be happy to help out

Hi Craig - absolutely! In fact, you aren’t the only one to ask this. Our team is looking into what other events we could facilitate or partner with to keep the conversation going. Are you on our mailing list? I’d love to learn more about Victoria’s monthly event. - Marita
